34. A good point.
But I'm afraid there's more to it than just the length of time.

We are a society that has BEEEG problems with violence, and we aren't addressing it. Some of these soldiers who are straining at the bit to kill are quite possibly the ones who would do that if they were right here at home, without having Been to war. We've just given them sanction for what they wanted to do anyway.

The military represents all different sorts of people. They don't become saints when they put on that uniform and pick up their military issue rifle. It's the ones who are the caring ones who often end up dealing with PTSD the rest of their lives.
Gak... it just makes me sick to even think about it.

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!!
